I received the book in a timely manner for a good price, and in ok condition. The listing said that it was hard cover and I received a damaged paperback. I feel like this was deception/miscommunication on the part of the seller. The book on the inside is in mint condition, but the cover was water damaged because it was sent from the sunny south to the cold and wet north in a paper bag like package instead of the way it should have been handled, either wrapped in a flat rate box or sent in a padded envelope. I appreciated the delivery time and the inside of the book, but was disappointed by the book being water-damaged en-route to my house.
